What I want to know is what I did to cause you to go back on your
decision to 'kill file' me? Two things happened. 1. A new computer 2. Using Google Groups at work. Suddenly, *poof* -- there you were again! ;-) BTW: You still remain the ONLY person I've ever kill-filed -- truly an honor, in the rarefied atmosphere of Usenet. And, now, you have the singular and unique attribute of being the only person I've UN-kill-filed... :-) -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

Dearest Larry,
Please GIVE IT UP!! Jay provides at his own cost a party for all of those who WANT to come. If you think the "enticement" of a free beer is enough to drag a unwilling pilot to a party and force them to spend the night at Jay's hotel you don't think much of pilots. For those who wish to imbibe they would have the choice of staying at Jay's or I'm sure they could walk down the road to some other establishment. They might even have some self control and drink, dare I say it, water! To bash Jay for offering up a lovely social occasion is out of line! Now, if only it was early enough for those of us who park the planes at Oshkosh ... We will see you when you land and I'm leaving Wed. night open to drag myself all the way to the North 40 where Jay hosts (with the barbequeing brilliance on Mont Blanc) another lovely party. Cheers to Jay!! (and Mary, and the kids). While I disagree with Jay on almost every political topic in the world the Honeck's are in my view the pinnicle of "flying family".

I was perfectly willing to drop this issue, but you keep drawing my name into it, so you force me to go on reminding you of the facts. |

Your ideas/thoughts are coming across more clearly these days - to me anyway. Not sure why, maybe I'm finally getting used to your style. But I think it's something else - not exactly sure what "it" is? Also, looks like you've recently added a bit of humor and irony. Nice change :-) Anyway, I know longer fear your posts. g Montblack |

We will see you when you land and I'm leaving Wed. night open to drag
myself all the way to the North 40 where Jay hosts (with the barbequeing brilliance on Mont Blanc) another lovely party. Thanks for the spirited defense, Margy. Sometimes Larry just can't tell when I'm kidding him, and when he needs to mellow out, God love 'im... This upcoming North 40 party should be one for the books, if all goes as planned. We're talking a pig in a roaster, thanks to Montblack (ooooo la-la! BTW: I really like your French derivative, "Mont Blanc"... It makes him sound so,so, I don't know, fountain pen-ish... ;-) and Jim in NC, plus God knows what all everyone will bring to drink! Shoot, last year it took Montblack's mini-van to hold all the food. I'm hoping he can sneak back in again this year, or we'll all be hoofin' it back over to Friar Tuck's... FYI: I am also planning to break a bottle of champagne over the snout of your new Navion (figuratively, of course -- you *know* I wouldn't waste good booze!) in celebration of you and Ron's successful return to the air -- and hopefully we will see you (and Mary and the newly plane-less Christine) dancing on Atlas' wing yet again... Ah, yes...can life get any better than OSH? :-) -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

dancing on Atlas' wing yet again... Ah, yes...can life get any better than OSH? Newly plane-less? Yes, sadly, Brian & Christine have sold our Baby to some strangers in Monticello, IA. Hopefully they'll treat her well. But B&C are hoping to build an RV-10, so they should only be plane-less for, oh, five years or so... -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

Poor folks, I think building would be fun, but only if I had a working plane and time to build and fly. I guess retirement can't come soon enough! I tell you having the Navion down for 3 years almost killed me. Margy |
